SYRUP-PITCHER.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, SYLVESTER N. KANDL- BINDER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Shreveport, in the parish of Caddo, State of Louisiana, .have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Syrup- Pitchers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to syrup pitchers, and has for one of its objects to provide a vessel of this character wherein a receptacle is provided for receiving` and retaining the drippings from the spout.

The invention consists further in providing a vessel of this character wherein a receptacle is provided for receiving and retaining the drippings from the spout and which will prevent the drippings from escaping when the vessel is tilted for pouring the contents therefrom.

With these and other objects in view the invention consists in a vessel perpendicular at one side and outwardly curving at the other side and with a drip receiving receptazle deepest adjacent to the perpendicular s1 e.

The invention further consists in a vessel perpendicular at one side and outwardly curving at the other side and with a drip receiving receptacle deepest adjacent to the perpendicular side and overhanging to prevent the escape of the drippings when the vessel is tilted for discharging the contents.

`With these and other objects in view the invention consists in certain novel features of construction as hereafter shown and described and then specifically pointed out in the claim, and in the drawings illustrating the preferred embodiment of the invention, Fignre 1 is a sectional elevation of the improved vessel. Fig. 2 is a plan view in section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

The improved device comprises a body or main receiver represented as a whole at 10 and having one straight side 11 and an outwardly curving side 12, with a handle 13 at the curved side. A pouring spout 14 and hinged closure 15 of the usual form are provided at the upper end of the body. Disposed at the bottom of the body 10 is a shal- Specication of Letters Patent.

low drip receiver 16 and surrounding the whole body and with the end next to the perpendicular side 1l deeper than the part next to the curved side 12, as shown at 18, or with the walls at this portion of the receiver highest and overhanging as at 19. By this simple means drippings from the spout 14 will fall directly into the receiver 16, and be retained therein, and 4when the vessel is tilted for discharging the contents, the elevated and overhanging portion will eectually prevent the overflow of the drippings, as will be obvious. The perpendicular side 11 also permits the syrup to flow more freely from the receptacle, while the curved portion not only provides an increased capacity but also prevents overflow at the spout end when the vessel is tilted rearwardly to discharge the drip receiver from its shallow end. The drip receiver will preferably be formed integral with the body 10, as shown, but may be formed separately, if preferred.

The improved pitcher may be manufactured from any required material, such as glass, Crockery ware, or the like, and may also be manufactured from metal spun up into the required shape, and of any required size or configuration, so that the perpendicular side and the rearwardly curving side are preserved.

Vhen discharging the contents of the pitcher the straight side enables the syrup to flow more freely, while the overhanging portion of the drip receptacle prevents the drippings from overflowing when the pitcher is tilted, and the rearwardly curving portion prevents the liquid from flowing from the pitcher when the latter is tilted for the purpose of discharging the drippings i from the shallow side of the drip receiving portion.

The device is simple in construction, can be manufactured without material increase in expense, and operates satisfactorily for the purpose described.

Vhat is claimed, is

A pitcher formed with an outwardly swelling portion at one side and with a contracted discharge at the side opposite to the outwardly .swelling portion, and a drip trough surrounding the pitcher at its base, the portion of the trough which is located at the side as the outwardly swelling porfrom the trough Without discharging the tion being relatively shallow with its rim contents of the pitcher. 10 directed outwardly and the portion of the In testimony Wherof,I aiiix my signature, trough which is located at the side opposite l in presence of tWo Witnesses.
